1t is said that dull times are not known
by tho agents for the geeat publishing house
Of George stinson & Co., of Portland Maine.
The reason OF THIS uneqceptional success is
found in the fact that they always give the
public that which is keenly appreciated and
at prices that all can afford. At present we
understand, their agents are doing wonder
fully well on several new lines They need
many more egents in all parts Of the country.
Those who need profitable work should sp-

Cheaper Railroad Fares.

On the first of January, 1888. the Balti.
more and Ohio Rail Road Company will 10,
augurate the sale of local Ground Trip"tick.
cts at all of its Offices east of the Ohio River.
These tickets will be sold to any station
on the east of the Ohio River, at discoun,
averaging about ten per cent of the regular
rate, and they will be valid for passage 70
thirty days, including day of sale. They
will be sold for all trains, every day in the
year, and is expected that their Introduction
will bring about an increase in the volume
of local travel that will, eventually, more
than compensate the Company for the re.
duction In rates.
We have no doubt this voluntary action
on the part of the Baltimore and Ohio Com
panV will be appreciated by the people de-
pending upon 1t for the means Of transports
tion, and believe that ultimate results will
establish he wisdom Of its liberal policy.

knowledge IL. Health.

At the recent hygienic congress in Vienna
Herr Won Petit 'nkofer urged the Importance
of more general teaching in the pnbiic
schools of the influence of air, water and soil
on the public health. What scientific by
giene has accomplished was illustrated by
the case of London, where, in the Seven
teenth century, with lese than 1000. 600 in
habitants, the average death rate was forty
two per 1900 per year; while now, with g
population of 1000. 600, it is less than TWEEN
ty-one pei 1000. That is. science has more
than doubled the average life OF the Lon
doner. In the Crimean war the French lost
$4,000 men, ofwhom only 5000 were killed,
while $1,000 died from disease. In the
Franco-German war the effect Of hygeinic
teaching in the military schools was already
apparent, for out of a total loss to the Ger
man army of 4O,ss1 there were only 12, 2s2
from disease.

ED. STANDARD:
\ few months ago the Partisan stat

t" build hospital in OLYMPIA. Here
arr thu facts gathered from the proper
authorities: In September, 1856,

money enough among the people to
buy Il suitable location (for various

4 PiOus Man.

We think that much which is called
piety is worthless. Most certainly, ii
the love Of God be that which often
bears its name, the less We have OF it
the better. Ii religion be shipwreck OF
understanding, We cannot keep too far
from il. We conceive that the true
love OF God is moral sentiment,
founded on clear perception, and
consisting in high esteem and veneer
alton OF his moral perceptions. Thus
Ii perfectly comedies, and is, in fact.
the same thing with the love OF virtue,
rectitude and goodness. You will
easily judge then, what We esteem the
sure>t and only decisive signs of piety.
We lay no stress on strong excite
ments. We do not judge OF the bent
OF mems minds by their raptures, any
more than We Judge OF the natural
detection OF Il tree during L storm.
We rather suspect loud profession, for
We have observed that deep feeling is
generally noiscle>s and least seeks dis
play. We esteem him, and him only,
i piouS man. who practically conforms
to Gods moral PROJECTIONS and govern
ment; who shows his delight in Gods
benevolence by loving and serving his
neighhor; his delight in Gods Justice
by being resolutcly upright; his sense
of Gods purity by regulating his
thoughts, imagination and desires !;
and whose conversation, business and
domestic lie are swayed 10y regard TO
Gods presence and authority.
One surrender OF desire to Gods
will is worth 4 thousand transports.
Is not the very spirit OF piety
the devotion OF the soul To moral good?
